    Locked folders and need help.


    Hello,I had a program cause me some trouble and need help.A program created a folder on C: drive and sub folders.I removed the program but the folders need to be deleted.And that is the problem as they cant be deleted.I tired assigning Owner rights and the changes dont take.I tried using file menu and then attrib to remove the read only and it does work.I even tried to delete them while in admin/powershell and it does not work either.I cant rename them as it says I dont have rights even thou I am admin.How can i force access to the folders and files that are locked so I can delete them?Since I

    Folder locked and dissapeared after unlock

    Well here's something i found on this:

    Lost my files in Folder Lock

    But it doesn't work here , i don't have that folder.

    Can somebody help me searching for a solution , tnx.

    EDIT:

    I did that and that's when the folder just disappeared but the data is still there, the program is very confusing about restoring files , it says that "files should become unlocked automatically" ... so where the heck are manual unlocking instructions.

    It's not an encrypt , it's just a password lock , so data is all open. The problem is, i would get like 225 GB of individual files off the HDD recovery , i just want the harder way of accessing the folder but getting the folder structure , where can i find the time to SORT 220 GB of data omg.
